Nothing in this Agreement precludes a party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
15. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceedings.
16. This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communications and prior writings with respect thereto.

- 9 -
5. JPMC and the Dealer agree that JPMC will only be liable for a Designated Transaction if (i) such Designated Transaction is of the type, and otherwise complies with the restrictions, set forth in the Designation Notice relating to the Agent entering into such Designated Transaction, (ii) giving effect to such Designated Transaction will not cause the Net Daily Settlement Amount to exceed or further exceed the applicable Settlement Limit or the Net Open Position to exceed or further exceed the applicable Net Open Position Limit (without the written consent of JPMC) or the Bullion NOP to exceed or further exceed the applicable Bullion NOP Limit, (iii) the Dealer and such Agent have agreed to the Material Terms of such Designated Transaction, (iv) such Designated Transaction has been booked by the Dealer at a Specified Office identified in the applicable Designation Notice, and (v) JPMC has received an Agent Notice and Dealer Notice in respect of such Designated Transaction setting forth matching Material Terms.
6. JPMC shall notify the Dealer within two hours after JPMC’s receipt of the later of the Agent Notice or the Dealer Notice if (i) the Material Terms set forth in the Agent Notice differ from the Material Terms set forth in the Dealer Notice or (ii) JPMC is not liable for such Designated Transaction because the Designated Transaction does not satisfy the criteria set forth in subsections (i) through (v) of Section 5.

7. (a) Each Designated Transaction entered into hereunder shall be confirmed by the Dealer and JPMC to each other in accordance with their standard practice and shall be subject to the Master Agreement identified in the applicable Designation Notice. [For the avoidance of doubt, each Designated Transaction shall be subject to the Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Forward FX Transactions [and the Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transactions] between JPMC and the Dealer.] No Agent may make or receive deliveries of currencies or Bullion on behalf of JPMC, or give any directions in respect of deliveries of currencies or Bullion, in connection with any Designated Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in a confirmation of any Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction, any such Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction may be exercised by JPMC or the Agent that entered into such Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction on behalf of
- 10 -
JPMC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to Designated Bullion Trade Transactions and Designated Bullion Option Transactions, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, (i) Settlement by Delivery will be deemed to apply for all Designated Transactions, and (ii) the Delivery Location for Designated Transactions entered into by the relevant Agent on our behalf will be London, England.
[(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Dealer are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Forward FX Transactions: if, on the Trade Date of a Designated Transaction that is a Non-Deliverable FX Transaction (a “NDF Transaction”), template terms for the confirmation of a NDF Transaction in the Currency Pair that is the subject of such Designated Transaction are recommended by EMTA, Inc. (“EMTA”) or a recognized successor and have an effective date that falls on or before such Trade Date (“Relevant NDF EMTA Template”), then all of the terms of such Relevant NDF EMTA Template (published and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx or any successor website) shall apply to such Designated Transaction, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by JPMC and the Dealer.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Dealer are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transactions (European Style) between them: if, on the Trade Date of a Designated Transaction that is a Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transaction (a “NDO Transaction”), template terms for the confirmation of a NDO Transaction in the Currency Pair that is the subject of such Designated Transaction are recommended by EMTA or a recognized successor and have an effective date that falls on or before such Trade Date (“Relevant Option EMTA Template”), then all of the terms of such Relevant Option EMTA Template (published and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx or any successor website) shall apply to such Designated Transaction, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by JPMC and the Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Relevant EMTA NDF Template in the case of a NDF Transaction or Relevant Option EMTA Template in the case of a NDO Transaction becomes effective after the Trade Date of an Designated Transaction, such Relevant NDF EMTA Template or Relevant Option EMTA Template, as the case may be, shall not apply to or amend the terms of the relevant Designated Transaction, unless otherwise agreed between JPMC and the Dealer.]
8. For the purpose of calculating Net Daily Settlement Amount and Net Open Position, a Designated Option Transaction sold by JPMC and owned by the Dealer shall be discharged and terminated together with a Designated Option Transaction sold by the Dealer and owned by JPMC upon satisfying the following criteria:
(i) |
each Designated Option Transaction being with respect to the same Put Currency and Call Currency; |

each having the same Expiration Date and Expiration Time; |
(iii) |
each being of the same style, i.e. either both being American Style Options or both being European Style Options; |

each having the same Strike Price; |
(v) |
each being transacted by the same pair of offices of the Dealer and JPMC; and |
- 11 -
(vi) |
neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery of a Notice of Exercise. |
Where the relevant Designated Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair, such Designated Option Transactions shall be partially discharged and terminated for the purpose of calculating Net Daily Settlement Amount and Net Open Position.
9. Each party represents and warrants to the other party as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each Designated Transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement that: (i) it has authority to enter into this Agreement and such Designated Transaction; (ii) the persons executing this Agreement and entering into such Designated Transaction have been duly authorized to do so; and (iii) this Agreement is binding upon it and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)) and does not and will not violate the terms of any agreements to which such party is bound.
10. Neither party may assign, transfer, or charge or purport to assign, transfer, or charge, any of its rights or its obligations under this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other party, and any purported assignment, transfer, or charge in violation of this Section 10 shall be void.
11. The parties agree that each party may electronically record all telephonic conversations between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and that any such tape recordings may be submitted in evidence in any Proceedings.
12. Unless otherwise agreed, all notices, instructions and other communications to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be given electronically (over e-mail or otherwise), or to the address, facsimile number, Reuters address, or telephone number specified by such party on the signature page hereof (or such other contact details of which one party notifies the other party). Each notice, instruction, or communication hereunder (including without limitation, any Agent Notice or Dealer Notice) shall be effective upon receipt; provided, however, that if a notice, instruction, or communication is received by JPMC (i) in New York, after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day or on a day that is not a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding New York Business Day, (ii) in New York, before 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on that New York Business Day, (iii) in London, after 5:00 p.m. (London time) on a London Business Day or on a day that is not a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding London Business Day, and (iv) in London, before 9:00 a.m. (London time) on a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (London time) on that London Business Day.
13. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that any such termination shall not affect any outstanding Designated Transactions entered into in accordance with this Agreement, and the provisions of this
- 12 -
Agreement shall continue to apply in respect of such Designated Transactions until all the obligations of each party to the other party under this Agreement have been fully performed.
14. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions under the law of such jurisdiction, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of such and any other provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
15. No indulgence or concession granted by a party and no omission or delay on the part of a party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
16. No amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing executed by each of the parties.
17. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any Proceedings, each party irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes a party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
18. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceedings.
